“Mellow Yellow” by Donovan is the most beloved 1960s song with the word “yellow” in the title that wasn’t released by The Beatles. During an interview, the “Atlantis” singer opined that his catalog was a lot more diverse than The Beatles’, to the point where he sounded like a completely different artist from song to song. Donovan also said something about his background made him similar to George Harrison, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney. While “Mellow Yellow” might be one of the most unusual hits of the period, it wouldn’t be the same without a little help from Paul.
Donovan said ‘Mellow Yellow’ and ‘Barabajagal’ were more original than any Beatles songs
During a 2016 interview with Best Classic Bands, a reporter asked Donovan why “Mellow Yellow” was so different from the rest of his catalog. “Why were they all so different?” he replied. “I displayed more of the painterly,...

An animated video for Mark Knopfler’s all-star charity single “Going Home (Theme From Local Hero)” – which brought together a stunning lineup of over 60 guitar gods to raise funds for Teen Cancer America and the Teenage Cancer Trust – has been released. It features the final recording of Jeff Beck along with contributions by Bruce Springsteen, David Gilmour, Slash, Ronnie Wood, Joan Jett, Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, and Sting.
The song came out a week ago, but it was difficult to discern who was playing what part throughout the ten-minute song.

Mark Knopfler has teamed up with a host of fellow guitar legends to record a version of his song “Going Home (Theme from Local Hero)” to raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America.
The Dire Straits frontman tapped Eric Clapton, Slash (Guns N’ Roses), David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Brian May (Queen), Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), Pete Townshend (The Who), Alex Lifeson (Rush), Bruce Springsteen, Ronnie Wood (The Rolling Stones), Joan Jett, and many more, forming what he has dubbed “Mark Knopfler’s Guitar Heroes.” Notably, the star-studded version opens with the final recorded guitar track by the late Jeff Beck.
Knopfler’s longtime collaborator Guy Fletcher handled the production of the track, which might be the greatest assemblage of guitar talent to co-exist on a single song. The Sgt. Pepper‘s-style artwork was created by Sir Peter Blake.
The full song can be heard below now, featuring...

Like every other Rolling Stones album dubbed the best since 1978’s Some Girls, Hackney Diamonds features enough cringey lyrics, dodgy guitar riffs, and self-plagiarism (such as Keith Richards playing “Tumbling Dice” at the beginning of “Driving Me Too Hard”) to keep it out of the pantheon of their greatest releases. What parts of the album do capture is a genuinely contemporary flair that the Stones haven’t successfully embodied since they triangulated the emerging threads of punk and disco back in the late 1970s.
The album’s crisp, booming drums, hooky choruses, and livewire vocals have a radio-ready sheen without feeling forced, or compromising the Stones’s essential traits. The opening track, “Angry,” hardens the edges around a shiny pop-forward hook with a hit of stadium swagger and a roiling outro that piles on knotty guitar solos from Richards and Ronnie Wood. The fact that the Stones don’t sound...

Sydney Sweeney idolizes The Rolling Stones in music video “Angry.”
The “Euphoria” star is shown dancing and singing while riding on the back of a red convertible, much like a scene out of her “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson’s short-lived “The Idol.” Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are billboards come to life while a leather-clad Sweeney gyrates in a passing car.
“Angry” is the first single off The Rolling Stones’ brand new studio album “Hackney Diamonds,” available October 20. This is the Stones’ first album since 2016’s “Blue & Lonesome” and the first since longtime drummer Charlie Watts’ death in 2021; it’s been 18 years since the iconic band released original music. Two tracks from “Hackney Diamonds” will feature Watts’ drumming, with the rest of the album featuring touring drummer Steve Jordan.

The Rolling Stones will release their first album of original music in nearly two decades on Oct. 20, and it includes a collaboration with Lady Gaga.
At a press event in East London on Wednesday — hosted by Jimmy Fallon — the rock icons revealed details about Hackney Diamonds, the band’s new studio album. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood also unveiled the music video for the album’s first single, “Angry,” which was released Wednesday and stars Emmy-nominated actress Sydney Sweeney, who attended the event.
When Fallon asked her what crossed her mind when she got the call to star in the video, the Euphoria and The White Lotus actress said, “Oh, gosh. I mean, I freaked out, called my family, and brought my mom.” Her mom sat behind her at the event.
“I loved the song when I heard it. It’s been stuck in my head,” Sweeney added.

Robbie Robertson, the iconic guitarist and principal songwriter of The Band, passed away on Wednesday, August 9th after a long illness. Naturally, tributes poured in from the likes of Joni Mitchell, Stephen Stills, Neil Diamond, Stevie Van Zandt, Jason Isbell, Margo Price, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and more.
“A good friend and a genius. The Band’s music shocked the excess out of the Renaissance and were an essential part of the final back-to-the-roots trend of ‘60s,” wrote Van Zandt. “He was an underrated brilliant guitar player adding greatly to Bob Dylan’s best tour & best album.
“The music world lost a great one with the passing of Robbie Robertson,” Diamond said on Twitter, while Stills added, “Always kind and generous. Rest in peace, Robbie Robertson.”

The 1976 all-star concert at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom marked the end of his career with the Band, the end of his years as a touring musician, and the start of life as an elder statesman of rock.

Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger marked turning 80 this week with a star-studded bash in London, but he reportedly stayed only for an hour, leaving revellers including bandmate Ronnie Wood, and Leonardo DiCaprio, to dance the night away without him.
The party was held at the Embargo Republica Club in Chelsea, west London.
The others at the party included rocker Lenny Kravitz, ‘Barbie’ actress Margot Robbie, Anjelica Huston and Baz Luhrmann, his daughters Jade and Georgia Jagger, and partner Melanie Hamrick.
“Mick’s big party was going off from 11 p.m. and it was the place to be,” a source told The Sun.
“It was a very starry affair with everyone from Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, and Lenny Kravitz, turning up to enjoy some drinks.”
Despite the A-list attendees, Mick apparently arrived late to his own celebrations and only stayed for an hour.

Keith Richards has spent much of his career insulting his fellow musicians. He rolls his eyes at competing acts and has even turned his scorn on his bandmates in The Rolling Stones. Richards found many things to criticize, including, in one instance, a band sounding too perfect. He shared why he didn’t like Bob Dylan’s backing group, The Band.
Keith Richards thought fellow musicians The Band sounded too clean
In the 1960s, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Dylan were some of the biggest musical acts in the world. Richards liked Dylan and The Beatles, but he thought Dylan’s backing band, The Band, left something to be desired.
“I saw them at the Dylan gig on the Isle of Wight and I was disappointed,” he told Rolling Stone in 1969. “Dylan was beautiful, especially when he did the songs by himself. He has a unique rhythm which only...

In 1986, The Rolling Stones released the album Dirty Work. The title was fitting. Making the album was a dirty, painful process that left the band furious with one another. For Keith Richards, Mick Jagger was the primary problem. He was working to promote his debut solo album, She’s the Boss, and shirked his responsibility to the band. As a result, Richards wrote several songs about his stormy relationship with Jagger.
The Rolling Stones released an album at a low point in band relations
After over two decades of working together, Richards’ relationship with Jagger reached a breaking point. Jagger prioritized his solo album above Dirty Work, which the Stones’ guitarist found unforgivable.
“By the time we gathered in Paris to record Dirty Work in 1985, the atmosphere was bad,” Richards wrote in his memoir Life. “The sessions had been delayed because Mick was working on his solo album, and now he was busy promoting it.

The Beatles and The Beach Boys had a relationship of love and respect, even if the two were musical rivals during the 1960s. Their competitive spirits fueled their music, as one band tried to one-up the other whenever they released new projects. Brian Wilson was a fan of The Beatles but was frustrated when they achieved certain musical moments before he did. One album by the band made Wilson break down in tears when he heard it for the first time.
Brian Wilson ‘broke down in tears’ after hearing ‘Revolver’
The Beatles rose to fame in the U.K. in the early 1960s. At the same time, The Beach Boys were starting to make waves in America. In 1964, The Beatles made their first trip to the U.S., where Americans showed up in droves to see them, sending Beatlemania into the stratosphere.

In 2012, Bruce Springsteen felt starstruck to be in a room with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and Charlie Watts. He was joining The Rolling Stones in concert in New Jersey, something that would have felt like a dream to his childhood self. Springsteen explained that he found Richards particularly impressive. He’d learned to play his first guitar solo through Richards’ playing. He also thought the guitarist was the most spectrally beautiful person he’d seen.

When Springsteen was growing up, he dreamed of getting onstage and replacing Jagger in concert. Years later, he lived out a version of this dream. In 2012, he joined The Rolling Stones onstage to sing “Tumbling Dice.” He found the experience exhilarating, but he liked the rehearsal even better.

Legendary British rock band Rolling Stones will be reuniting with their former bassist Bill Wyman after 30 years since his departure from the band. The 86-year-old Wyman was last seen in the band’s 1989 LP ‘Steel Wheels’ after which, he quit the band in 1993.
However, Wyman did briefly reunite with the band and played on stage with Jagger, Watts, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood for their 50th anniversary tour in 2012. Since leaving The Stones, Wyman has kept active with a solo career, with his latest solo album coming out in 2015 called ‘Back to Basics’.
Now, the former bassist will be featured on the band’s upcoming studio album, which was written as a tribute to their late drummer Charlie Watts, who died in August 2021 at the age of 80 due to throat cancer, although his drumming will be on the LP.

Bill Wyman will reportedly reunite with The Rolling Stones on their upcoming studio album.
The Sun reports that Wyman joined the band at a Los Angeles recording studio at the invitation of Mick Jagger. The as-yet-unannounced album is a tribute to late Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, who died in August 2021 at the age of 80.
“Bill hasn’t seen the band together for years but always loved Charlie. This record’s really a tribute to Charlie, so he couldn’t say no,” a source told The Sun.
Wyman hasn’t appeared on Stones album since 1989’s Steel Wheels. He departed the band four years later in 1993. He later reunited on stage with Jagger, Watts, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood for their 50th anniversary tour in 2012.
The Rolling Stones’ new album will also feature drum parts recorded by Watts prior to his death, as well as contributions from surviving Beatles members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

Jimmy Page and Keith Richards didn’t cross paths much in the 1970s. After all, the guitarists stayed busy with their bands, Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones. Maybe you’ve heard of them (sarcasm font). Richards didn’t like Zep, but he respected Page and tried to get him drunk when he played on a Stones song in the 1980s.

Page cut his teeth as a session musician before joining the Yardbirds and later forming Led Zeppelin. He knew a thing or two about staying busy. Zeppelin’s relentless touring and recording schedule left him little time for working with other bands in the 1970s.

Jason Horton, the Director of Production for BBC Local, was bombarded with the “tears of joy” emoji by disgruntled employees, who are currently taking industrial action over content changes and job cuts.
The staff survey, seen by Deadline, showed that only 13% of 1,480 BBC Local employees had confidence in the BBC’s executive team and its vision for the broadcaster.
Just 37% of employees said they would recommend the BBC as a great place to work, while 65% were unsure whether they wanted to continue working for the corporation in two years’ time.
Some 60% of those polled did not agree when asked if they understood why the BBC was changing its local output by switching resources from traditional broadcasting to digital.

A star-studded gathering of musicians honored the late guitar legend Jeff Beck with two tribute shows on Monday (May 22nd) and Tuesday (May 23rd) at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Eric Clapton, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, Rod Stewart, Johnny Depp, Zz Top’s Billy Gibbons, and Aerosmith’s Joe Perry were among the major names who took the stage to perform material and covers that Beck himself played during his lifetime.
Highlights included a rousing cover of Beck and Depp’s take on “Isolation” by John Lennon — performed by Hammett, Gibbons, and Depp (who released the song as a collaborative single with Beck in 2022); Stewart tearing through a four-song medley with Clapton; and Gibbons and Depp taking on Zz Top’s “Rough Boy,” a song Beck and Gibbons used to play together.

Keith Richards shot to fame as the hard-living guitarist for The Rolling Stones. That’s been his main gig for more than 60 years, the band for whom he wrote what might be his favorite song. Still, Richards’ first solo album proved to be a hit even though he had to be pressured into making it.

Richards was a rock star and a musical trendsetter with The Rolling Stones. He was also late to the party among members of his band — Richards was the last to go solo.
The guitarist focused his energy on the Stones for decades. For better or worse, Richards gave everything he had to the band. He never really considered going it alone until the late 1980s.

In 1971, George Harrison became involved in a lengthy lawsuit that cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars. The suit accused the former Beatle of plagiarizing a song by The Chiffons when making “My Sweet Lord”. While the lawsuit cost George Harrison a lot of money, he still got a song out of it that made fun of the whole situation.

“My Sweet Lord” is one of the biggest hits from Harrison’s solo career. The track was released in 1970’s All Things Must Pass and was also released as a single, peaking at No. 1 on the charts in the U.S. and U.K. Since it was so popular, many noticed the song’s similarity to a 1963 song by The Chiffons titled “He’s So Fine”.

Paul McCartney is no stranger to putting together a concert setlist. The Beatles stopped touring in the mid-1960s, but their bassist hit the road when he formed Wings in 1971, and he’s been at it ever since. He knows he needs to play “Hey Jude” on every tour, and Paul said he expects The Rolling Stones to perform three specific songs when they play live.

Some Paul songs probably don’t make his live shows, such as the embarrassing Wings song “Hi Hi Hi.” It was a solid outtake from 1973’s Red Rose Speedway that Macca said doesn’t hold up. When he toured with Wings after The Beatles split up,...

George Harrison created beautiful and experimental music with The Beatles. His best Fab Four songs are some of the greatest in the band’s catalog, and that happened despite his bandmates blocking his songwriting efforts from appearing on albums. The guitarist’s relationship with his fellow Beatles wasn’t always the best. You could say the same of Harrison’s personal life, such as the night in the late 1970s when George and Ronnie Wood swapped wives.

Fidelity was never a main concern for members of The Beatles. John Lennon reportedly cheated on his first wife with 300 women. Paul McCartney carried on various affairs during his relationship with longtime girlfriend Jane Asher.
George was no different. He declared his love for Ringo Starr’s wife...
